Target completely abandoned stocking new SW toys in this area after they completed their recent reset. It's like after they moved things around they were all like "We're done!" and proceeded to abandon practices like stocking new figures, restocking Deluxe sets that have sold through, clearancing out older exclusives to make room, etc.

It's suddenly like summertime all over again, with a complete fail on new product everywhere.

Slice you open like a tauntaun, faster than the Autobahn, Or a motorbike in Tron, do the deed and then I'm gone.

There's probably going to be another Target reset in about 1 month. Right now the retailers are in back to school mode, and in October they'll shift into Holiday mode. I think October is the likely time that we'll see the Tauntaun.

Our Targets in Minnesota seem to be in the same mode- They reset, have a large section of real-estate dedicated to Star Wars, and simply don't have any product on the pegs. Some have 25 or more pegs for figures, and less figures than pegs. Others have absolutely tons of old figures.

And then look at what else has been offered since 2008-2010: Stormtrooper disguise Luke, Snowspeeder pilot Luke, and Tatooine Luke (Resurgence of the Jedi).

That only leaves a few options for new Luke figures:-Yavin Ceremony Luke (off the market since 2007)-Hoth Luke (off the market since since 2007 - battle pack)-Dagobah training Luke (off the market since 2007/08)-X-Wing Luke (been done numerous times)

Based on that, you've got to think that a Hoth Luke has to be in works.
